Neuroscience and Stroke Care across the eastern part of the state of NJ is distributed in North, Central and Southern regions with each one of the larger three medical centers serving as healthcare hubs. Hackensack University Medical Center in the North NJ along with another 3 hospitals, JFK Medical Center in the Central NJ along with 6 other hospitals, and Jersey Shore University Medical Center as group 3 Southern NJ regional HMH Network hospitals. Larger hospitals are leading the integration efforts.

The merger essentially created 3 regions across the state of NJ: North, Central and South. The Health Network had reached the status of being the largest Network in the State of NJ by 2018 as merger of Hackensack and Meridian Health was completed with JFK Health. There was as an established network of at least 13 hospitals by the year 2019 supporting the medical school.
